MuData's docs dropped the language segment from their URLs, so every mudata.readthedocs.io/en/latest link on the site 404'd, including the core package card on the front page. The 2025 conference summary linked x.com/scaboranova, which does not exist; the account is @scverse_team. Two management committee profiles in the announcement post had moved: Fabian Theis to helmholtz-munich.de/en/icb, Aviv Regev to gene.com. Signed-off-by: Lukas Heumos <lukas.heumos@posteo.net>

No page carried a <meta name="description">, so search engines had nothing to quote; Open Graph and Twitter descriptions were there but those are not the same tag. <meta charset> sat at byte 1582, past the 1024-byte limit the spec allows, because it came after the title, the stylesheets and every social tag. Titles carried no site name, so tabs and search results read just "Packages" or "People". Also adds canonical URLs, RSS autodiscovery for the twelve feeds that were already being generated, a robots.txt with a sitemap pointer, and a 404 page, and drops the series taxonomy, which had no terms and only produced an empty feed. buildFuture moves into the config so that a local hugo server lists upcoming events the way production does.

The front page had no h1 at all: the wordmark was a styled span, so neither search engines nor screen readers had a document title to anchor on. Six pages emitted more than one h1 because the layout renders the title as h1 and the body then started at level one again; anndata 0.13 had four. The media kit, which is a page made entirely of images, had fifteen of them with no alt text. The landing page demo's run controls were divs with click handlers, so they could not be reached or triggered from a keyboard, and had no accessible name. Also adds a prefers-reduced-motion block, a focus ring for those controls, lazy loading for images below the fold, and drops the src-less <img> that SnapATAC2 rendered for its missing icon.

Photographs were being shipped at their original capture size: the 2026 conference background at 5196px and 3.6 MB, a speaker portrait at 4554px and 1.8 MB for a slot the stylesheet renders 132px wide, and a blog screenshot at 14821px. Those are now resized to what the page actually uses and stored as WebP, and the pre-commit hook that already did this for blog and learn images covers events too. The media kit keeps PNG for the three files it advertises as PNG downloads; scverse-lettering, which is only ever displayed, becomes WebP. Nunito was in the repo but no rule referenced it, and bootstrap.min.js was never loaded because the head takes the bundle, so both go along with about a megabyte of source maps for minified vendor files. Inter and JetBrains Mono become woff2, which is a third of the size, and gain font-display: swap so text is not invisible while they load. Ecosystem cards get content-visibility so the browser can skip painting the ones off screen, and anndata_schema.svg goes through svgo. Signed-off-by: Lukas Heumos <lukas.heumos@posteo.net>
The 2025 conference page uses its own template, and that template hand-rolled a head: no favicon, no Open Graph image, no Twitter card, no analytics, and Inter pulled from Google's CDN even though the site self-hosts the same font. The conference appeared in neither the navigation nor the footer, so the only route to a registration page that is currently open was the events list. The landing page never mentioned the events scverse runs; it now leads with the next one. Blog posts all declare an author and the listing threw it away. Also adds a footer column for the conference, the donation page and the blog feed, replaces the hardcoded copyright year, and repoints two links to /conference2024/, a page that was never published.
